Accident was due to a bit of overaggressiveness with the gear handle.
After takeoff, when the pilot went to put the gear up, the handle was
pulled a bit too much and went over the mechanical stop. After the
accident, from outside the aircraft the handle was able to be forced
out and back over the stop into the correct position. Bad thing about
it was the a/c was scheduled to get the attach angle skid plates during
the next maintenance session. NOw at least partof the attach angles are
going to have to be replaced.

BTW...both people onboard were part of the museum staff that owns the
aircraft.
